It's every digital and social marketers dream that their ideal customer, partner and fan will easily find their blog, website or other online social channel. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as building a website or blog and people just show up at your digital front door, banging to get in and buy from you.

It takes time for the traditional search engines such as Google and Bing to even know your site exists so they can start sending traffic your way. Plus now you have tremendous opportunity to earn traffic to your blog or website via the social networks.

Remember though that visitors to your online platforms are tourists, they're just stopping by. It's up to you to make sure that you invite them in and inspire them to connect with you, to help them feel at home so they'll stick around for awhile and maybe even tell a few friends about how great you are.

One of the best ways to increase traffic to your blog or website is via organic traffic. Organic traffic is not paid media. Organic traffic is traffic that comes to you via recommendations, referrals, search, social networks or other online platforms. You don't necessarily pay for it directly, though you do pay for it via time invested in content marketing, website and blog development, influencer marketing, and the list goes on.

Our websites and blogs earn between 45% - 75%+ organic traffic from search engines alone. Plus the remainder of the traffic is 99% organic as well - we don't pay for expensive SEO tricks or earned media. Instead we focus on creating a platform with content that inspires and connects us with our target audience and online community.
